Unlocking a Bell cell phone requires contract information and SIM card code.
Bell is one of Canada's largest communications companies. Bell provides customers with mobility, broadband and cable services. Bell sells cell phones through its retail locations and supports the phones on its service network. Bell cell phones are restricted to Bell's network unless unlocked. To unlock it, you need to contact a Bell representative, fulfill specific criteria and have your Bell phone and SIM card ready.
Instructions
1. Visit your local Bell store to speak with a representative. Bring your Bell cell phone, the SIM card and your Bell contract when you go.
2. Inform the representative that you would like to unlock your Bell cell phone. The representative will ask to see your contract to determine whether you are eligible for unlocking your device.
3. Provide the representative with your SIM card code. Pull the SIM card, normally secured in a small metal lock behind the battery inside your phone, and give the clerk the code on the card.
4. Sign any documents the representative may provide you. This can include statements that you want to opt out of your contract or statements that explains your release from the Bell network.
5. Pay any fees required to unlock your Bell cell phone. The fee may vary depending on your contract status and your cell phone. If you are using a smart phone such as an iPhone or a Blackberry, the unlocking fee may be more since it also uses 3G networks. You may be asked to compensate for your contract payments to Bell, if you are unlocking your device during a contract period.
6. Save your Bell SIM card after the unlocking is done. You can now register your Bell SIM card and cell phone with a new service provider.
